Path is not accessible

[waltersz1404]

OF-DL cannot find ffmpeg path. I've tried saving the ffmpeg.exe in multiple folders with no luck. Changed all the slashes. Not sure what I've missed.

What have you put in auth.json as the path?

[waltersz1404]

C:/ffmpeg.exe thats what i get atm

[sim0n00ps]

Create a folder in the root of C:/ and put ffmpeg in that, change the path and see if that helps

[waltersz1404]

same error. Could it be my computer?

[waltersz1404]

C:/Download/ffmpeg.exe this is my current path

[sim0n00ps]

Is OF DL on your C:/ drive or another drive?

[waltersz1404]

same drive, different folder

[sim0n00ps]

This is my setup: auth.json "FFMPEG_PATH": "E:/OnlyFans/DRMEXES/ffmpeg.exe"

[waltersz1404]

i tried copying your set up. no dice.

[sim0n00ps]

Right click the exe and run as administrator? Running out of things you can do

[waltersz1404]

ran ffmpeg as admin, authorization popped up but nothing happened afterwards.

ran OF-DL as admin; same error

[sim0n00ps]

Maybe try a different drive if you can?

[waltersz1404]

i put everything on a USB, and the path is still not accessible

What's the exact error?

[waltersz1404]

The provided path does not exist or is not accessible. Cannot locate ffmpeg.exe; please modify auth.json with the correct path. Press any key to exit.

auth.json and config.json are both green

I'm having the same exact issue, did you ever figure it out?

[waltersz1404]

unfortunately, i have not.

I'm running into the exact issue, I've tried everything described above. I did however run the exe from an admin command prompt so that I can see any errors. Below is the output I observed.

C:\temp\OF.DL.V1.7.48>"OF DL.exe"

auth.json located successfully! Exception caught: Bad JSON escape sequence: \O. Path 'FFMPEG_PATH', line 6, position 27.

To me that indicates that you have back slashes in your path, you need to replace them with /

Totally missed that tiny detail. Thank you for your help.
